9 Futurist Content Marketing Insights You Must Know Now

 

The creative content marketing secret may be in the palm of your hand, or an extension of it.

The smartphone has evolved from a personal necessity to a revolutionary content-producing machine. Its built-in camera is wired with superpower-like features, formats, apps, platforms, lenses, filters, and social media channel magic.
